We have devised a technique to fixate a posterior chamber lens in the ciliary sulcus when no posterior capsular support exists. Our short-term follow-up of 22 eyes with lenses thus fixated has shown these eyes to be quiet and to have good pupillary motility after at least 3 months. We believe this new technique is a significant advancement in corneal and anterior segment surgery.
